TBR Challnge 2011- General

TBR Reading Challenge 2011: I put this book on my TBR list in June, 2010.

Well-written with interesting world-building. I think I would have liked this novel even more if I wasn't growing tired of urban fantasy and PNR. Raphael is a gamma hero for most of the book, very cold-blooded and slightly detached. Elena is a strong character with a seriously troubled past. She was capable without being hard. The author did a excellent job making Elena feel warmly human, with her sanctuary-like home and her deep friendships. The reader doesn't get all the answers to the questions about Elena's history, and I wonder if her story is continued in later books.
